[MD] Animate vs inanimate

[Gene M]

I am totally uncertain what this question is even in reference too. But that
won't stop me from giving a half assed answer! And maybe we can build up
something from there.

Patterns exist on each level. The inorganic level would probably be called
"inanimate" by most. The level of Matter, physics, chemistry, things like
that. And as inanimate as it is called, it's pretty full of stuff! It's in
constant motion, moving, changing and shifting. Probably the most unstable
level frankly. At least, at it's own scale. For us it's dead as dirt.
Literally.

Beyond that, the biological level would almost certainly be called
"animate". Since it is where all biological creatures reside. From the lowly
bacterias to our very bodies.

Those are very SOM terms I find however, they are a way for them to split up
objective Reality and describe it. I can't even Begin to imagine where to
place social and intellectual patterns in those two categories.

All in all I find them Extremely unsatisfying and suggest throwing them away
forever.
